Papers will address the fluidity of apocalyptic traditions and their transmission across diverse linguistic, cultural , and religious environments.

A variety of methodological approaches will be represente d, combining philological and manuscript-based research with literary, historical, theological, and cultural analy sis. The conference also aims to foster dialogue on the movement of apocalyptic ideas across religious boundaries and media of transmission.
